Mabel the Ontario Maple Fall Colours for Kids UPDATE - October 25

Well, her day has come. Mabel may have taken a while to change colour but not to lose her leaves. Time to mulch!

Mabel the Ontario Maple - October 25, 2012

It's a clear view to the water now but for Mabel's friend beside her. Today was a warm day, over 20 degrees and we all enjoyed some time in the great outdoors.

Fall colours continue in many areas North of Toronto. The air is filled with fall and many family and kids events are taking place offering fun and exciting activities.

See our website for the FAMILY EVENTS CALENDAR of family and kids events North of Toronto and the GTA.

Mabel the Ontario Maple Fall Colours for Kids UPDATE - October 19

The winds along the shores of Midland Bay have been strong and many of Mabel's leaves have been blown to the ground. Her and her friends are a beautiful solid orange, I think the show is all but over as we watch the last leaves fall to the ground.

Here's a picture of Mabel at around 4pm:

Mabel the Ontario Maple at 4pm - 18 October

It was a regular evening of family dinner and play time. We stayed inside because the winds were high and the skies were getting dark and then, out of nowhere the brightest rainbow we've ever seen appeared right behind Mabel. It was so bright, you could every colour in the rainbow. We were very excited and please to see not only one rainbow but two. Yes, Mabel and a double rainbow! What a way to perk up a Thursday night.

Have a rainbow kind of weekend, everyone!

Mabel the Ontario Maple Fall Colours for Kids UPDATE

Today is October 12. After many wet, cold and dark days,  the sun is shining, the sky is blue and waters of Midland Bay are calm and sparkling like a jewel!

So far we've been chronicling the colour changes of Mabel the Ontario Maple (see earlier blog posts for pics). To date she's been slow and hanging on to her dark green colour of her sunnier summer days.

Finally, a sunny day and less green on Ms. Mabel! She's starting to go a greeny yellow while those around her are bright orange. That's Mabel, just trying to be different!

We hope you have a great weekend filled with family and kids fun in the great outdoors. It's chilly but so pretty!

While most colours north of toronto are near or at peak, Mabel is a still holding on to summer. Can you blame her?

Here is a shot of her and her friends - who are little quicker on the colour turn. :-)

Mabel the Ontario Maple Fall Colour Update - September 30, 2012

It's been a good 8 days since our last Mabel update. Rain and not-so-great photography days have delayed us abit but that's ok, Mabel is holding tight to her summer colours for now!

Areas that were yellow are turning orange and deep red.
